I fired up Ethereal and let it capture for a few minutes, then looked for a
SYN packet. The first 0xc0 bytes of the conversation have what appear to be
easily recognizable bytes: 00 01 09 04 00 00, and a string of zeros later.
Shouldn't these be set to random-looking gibberish, so that it's impossible
to find all Freenet nodes by looking for patterns in packets?
Yup. This is a weakness of the current session protocol. There is no
reason for it as ID bytes could easily be included in the noderef, and
ideally made to depend on time of day etc.
00 01 is the session ID for FNP
I'm not sure about the rest.
Need to investigate this.
Definitely need to do sessionv2 before 1.0. And it needs to get rid of
the tag bytes!
